Great list of ideas, Amy! Even though I am usually at home during lunch, I am always needing to come up with new ideas. I manage to pack my kids creative lunches everyday, but somehow fall in to the same old ruts for mine! ;)
And thanks for linking to my Lunch idea list!!

Hi Amy! I love quinoa for lunch/ midmorning snack. I cook it similar to what I'd do with oatmeal. I boil it with water and then add almond milk, honey, cashew butter, coconut butter and blueberries. I have the recipe in my blog http://blogderecetas.wordpress.com/2011/08/09/quinoa-con-moras-azules/... is in Spanish but the pictures will give you a clear idea (and you can use Google translate :)).

My child loves bento boxes. He kinda felt singled out having to take lunch due to gluten and other food allergies. Now he thinks it's cool to have bento lunchbox items, the other kids think his lunch is cool too.

Thank you so much for posting this! My 5-year-old who is gluten-intolerant is starting school in a few days and I cook most of her lunches from scratch at lunch time. I was starting to stress about what to pack for her, but this gives me some great ideas.

@Camille, That's a great question. I didn't buy any books at first - I started out reading blogs. Once I figured out how I wanted to eat, finding a book that matched up with it was much easier.
You might want to check out your local Gluten Intolerance Group - you can find a directory at www.gluten.net
Hugs,
Amy
